You will never stray for as long as you adhere to these two...
You will never stray for as long as you adhere to these two – the Book of Allah-azwj and People of my-saww Household, for the Subtle, the Informed has made a pact with me -saww that these two will never separate from each other until they return to me -saww at the Fountain like these two fingers of mine -saww .
Therefore, adhere to these two, you will not stray, and do not go ahead of them-asws for you will be destroyed, and do not stay behind them -asws you will be divided, and do not (try to) teach them -asws for they -asws are more knowledgeable than you are!’’ [11] Status of a Momin in the world: ختص، الإختصاص الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّيْتُونِيُّ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَاقِفاً عَلَى الصَّفَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبَّادٌ الْبَصْرِيُّ حَدِيثٌ يُرْوَى عَنْكَ قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ قُلْتُ حُرْمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حُرْمَةِ هَذِهِ الْبَنِيَّةِ (The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Zaytuni, and Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Qatadah, from Ahmad Bin HIlal, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Hassan Bin Atiyya who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws was standing upon Al-Safa.
Abbad Al-Basry said to him -asws , ‘There is a Hadeeth being reported from you -asws ’. He -asws said: ‘And what is it?’ He said, ‘Sanctity of the Momin is greater than sanctity of this House (Kabab)’. قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَوْ قَالَ لِهَذِهِ الْجِبَالِ أَقْبِلِي أَقْبَلَتْ He -asws said: ‘I -asws have said that. If the Momin were to say to this mountain, ‘Come forward!’ It would come’.
قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا عَلَى رِسْلِكِ إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْكِ. He (the narrator) said, ‘I looked at the mountain coming over’.
